The congregation stood to respond wholeheartedly to Bishop Kevin's question, "do you, the people of this charge, commit yourselves to share with Terry in the ministry of this church?"
Guests present, including a number of local ministers, rose to pledge support to Rev Taggart and St Peter's.
The Rev Tommy Macneil, of Martin's Memorial Church of Scotland, welcomed the new pastor, inviting him to "join with all who minister in Christ's name in these islands."
